After art, cooking was probably Vincent Price's
greatest passion. It's hard to believe that there are still
lots of folks who don't know Vincent's reputation as a world-class
gourmet cook. As the child of a candy manufacturer and the grandson
of the inventor of baking powder, food has always been in his blood,
as it were. With cooking columns, cookbooks, taped advice on
preparing foods and countless television appearances, Price made his
mark in this satisfying field as well.
